HANSWAYHigh Temp 24''X36''X1/8'' Carbon Fiber Welding Blanket Protect Work Area from Sparks & Splatte (24''X36''X1/8'')

There are lots of fancy metal windscreens that you can put up around your backpacking stove but the ones made out of metal panels are clunky, rigid and have parts that get lost. The one-piece titanium screens are very light but the sharp edges make them hard to store. This blanket, cut in half to 9" x 24" and held in place with two paper clips, did just as good for about the same weight but lots more flexibility in my backpack. Rolled up, it even doubled as a pillow.Depending on your stove, you might be able to get three windscreens out of this blanket (6" x 24") but I thought the extra height helped with heat transfer so the water got to a boil faster and with less fuel.

Perfect for hot tent stove I’ve dropped hot coals on it and they didn’t damage fabric at all and is very pack able

I bought this to replace a much smaller flame/heat protecting blanket from Oatey that I bought for soldering copper pipes in small spaces next to flamable studs. I tested this with an open MAP-Pro flame, and while it did smoke up a lot more than the Oatey blanket when hot open flame directly directed right on it, it did protect the wood behind it from catching on fire. The other side was warm to the touch after applying open flame to the one side for a few seconds, and there was a visible color change where the flame hit, but the material did not catch fire and it did not get damaged other than just the color change and smoking. After the testing, I used it to cover up a joist in my 30-year-old basement that was just 1/2" (about a cm) from the copper pipe and fitting that I needed to solder together. The blanket protected the decades-old dried wooden joist from any sign of damage. In contrast, when I had worked on the same area about 20 years earlier, I had left a burn mark on the same joist: again, no damage, no burn mark with this blanket protecting the wood behind the workpiece.This generic (or "HANSWAY?") blanket is noticeably thinner than the Oatey blanket that I had been using for almost 20 years (maybe 1/8" vs. 1/4" thickness). However, this product is about two or three times the area (i.e., much larger area) than the Oatey blanket for around the same price. The Oatey blanket was rated for up to 2,500F while this one is rated for up to 1,800F according to the description on Amazon. The Oatey blanket didn't smoke up as much with the MAP-Pro flame directly applied to it, and it also didn't change in color as much. However, both blankets safely protected my house' framing from catching on fire while allowing me to solder copper pipes and fitting less than an inch away from the flammable material.You still have to be very cautious even with this blanket protecting your house while you work: it's rated only to 1,800F according to the website description, and I'm sure that if I had left the open MAP-Pro torch flame directed at it long enough, it would either burn a hole through the blanket or get heated enough on the other side to allow whatever was behind it to catch on fire. It's good enough to protect against the type of welding flame used for soldering of copper plumbing when exposed for a few seconds at a time.

Great for wrapping around hot rifle barrel out of the range and rifle nylon bag will not get burnt

So I'm not using it for welding, instead it's in my hot tent to catch sparks from the wood stove. It definitely works! I had a piece of burning coal land on it and I couldn't even tell. Sparks? It just shrugs them off. It might not be used as intended but it sure works as used!

There isn't a "warmth" component to this welding blanket. It does what I bought it for...to protect our Church alter from wax candles. We had an "incident" where candles were left burning, burned down to catching the alter cloth on fire.By God's Grace there wasn't alot of damage. SO...getting a welding blanket to go between the wooden alter & thecloth covering (for whatever Liturgical Season it may be) is perfect...

Used as a "wick" for a kerosene lantern preheat cup. Cut to shape and inserted into the cup it soaks up iso alcohol. Light the end and fire travels into the cup and ignites the iso. Thus preheating the kero lantern before lighting. Doesn't burn up!!

This is really not about warmth, thickness, or value for the money. I needed a small piece of flame retardant fabric to cover the metal on a wok handle; the cloth will be wrapped in self-adhering silicone tape. Its value is insulative, but I was hoping for something reasonably soft to the touch. This is. Glad I took the gamble. Trying to figure out what to do with the leftover fabric...

This welding blanket is soft and manoeuvrable,and works well for those small delicate welding areas to protect against spatter.
